Disclosure
Where we have coverage, ClaimRebate.ca introduces homeowners to one screened contractor. We may receive a referral fee if you choose to work with a contractor we introduce. This does not affect the price you pay or the subsidy you receive. The free eligibility check carries no obligation. Contractor licence verification should always be done independently at toronto.ca.
